PlantFind and SBINursery Offer Nurseries a Better Way

PlantFind and SBINursery have joined forces to offer Nurseries the best e-commerce and technology tools along with cutting-edge Nursery management software.

"It is the corporate vision of PlantFind to constantly and consistently bring the best and newest products and support to the Green Industry. Partnering with SBINursery validates our commitment," said Michael Ferraro, President of PlantFind. "We have looked at most of the software companies for growers and believe they are all good, but the energy and quality SBI brings to the table made us feel very comfortable. We wanted to be able to offer our Nursery members a better way to run their business, and we think SBINursery offers that."

"We are excited to be able to reach out to the Nursery members of PlantFind," said SBINursery Sales Manager Aaron Allison. "Where PlantFind helps them market and sell their products more efficiently, we can help them run their back-office more productively."

"We think this partnership is a move that complements our existing partnerships with CLIP Software for the Landscape Contractor space and GroTime for Greenhouses," Ferraro said. "Our goal is to be able to put all the pieces of the puzzle together in one place so desktop technology is working side by side with Internet technology." Allison added, "our alliance with PlantFind allows us to expand the scope of the functionality we can offer our customers by allowing them the most efficient avenue to sell their products."

The PlantFind tools include electronic procurement and quote submission, online marketplaces for both green goods and allied products, catalog aggregation, automated requests for quote (RFQ), industry news and information, and links to the industry's best periodicals and guides, along with a comprehensive customer support program.
